What brand should I look for? I don't drink many spirits, but I'd like to try rum. I'd also like to be a saucy lass.

If you want to get all fancy Gosling's Black Seal is supergood but kind of spendy. Bacardi or anything halfway decent will do as long as it's the dark stuff; just not that gross Captain Morgan rubbish with spices, etc., already added to it!

I might try the Gosling's Black Seal if I can find a smallish bottle. I really like the seal on the bottle. OK, this, plus spices. Holiday in mouth. Got it!

My friend's husband posted this stupid thing on facebook about all the products that come from a cow. Some of it is legit but some sounds like bs. He's always being a jerk to me about veganism despite me never bringing it up to him and actually being very accomodating when he and his wife visit us. I just know he posted the stupid thing to be a gotcha to me. My pet peeve is passive aggressive preachy omnivores who don't understand what veganism is about.

Eta my other unrelated pet peeve: Going to my workplace's cafeteria only to find that all the vegan/vegetarian hot meals are sold out. It's great that people are choosing the veg options for lunch, but now I'm out of luck. I've complained to the manager before but his solution was for me to get lunch earlier ( I was there at 1). Um, how about just offerig fewer meat dishes and more veg dishes!

There's a point along the cilantro bunch in which it goes from being mostly stem to mostly leaves. I chop here and discard the stems, then chop and include the rest. I am way too lazy to dick around separating individual leaves.

My friends sister tagged me on a post kind of like the one you're talking about. It was from Facebook Fail or something like that where someone posted an update that stated plywood has animal bi-products in it so vegans are now challenged...something like that. I promptly untagged myself once I finally saw that. It peeved me off but I didn't say anything- I might next time though.

Ugh! Went on an ice cream run and all there was was stupid coconut and almond ice cream. In the small containers. $5.99 for coconut based, which tastes like coconut. I want my big container of soy ice cream and I want it now. I talked to the "dairy manager" and he was like, "I will talk to my manager about it." Better bring back the soy!

After 2 people near me were talking about slaughtering of a cow, one of the people looks at me and apologizes for all the cow killing talk. I said something like I don't care, in terms that I know they eat meat and if I cared, I would've went somewhere else. The other person starts talking about how we are omnivores and meant to be omnivores so I did walk away. I don't criticize them for their food choices but my choices are criticized?

I usually say "Don't apologize to me, apologize to the cow." It comes off enough like "joking" that most people don't get quite as defensive when I say it, but it at least makes them think about what they're saying at least a little bit. It's dependent on your tone of voice though, so...it's kinda hard to convey its effectiveness just by typing it.

The kale salad at Trader Joe's has a MAYO dressing?! That hurts a little, TJ's.

The idea of kale salad is just awful. Crazy Americans and their kale fetish...

I was fairly skeptical until I tried making it with just a bit of avocado, apple cider vinegar, garlic and salt. Surprisingly tasty.

All these pills coated in gelatine :( had an infection and called up doctors on Friday...got antibiotics, got them home and realised they are coated in ick. By this time it was about 6pm and no doctors till monday...had to just suck it up and take them, but still...I do not like that!

my sister in law posted on facebook yesterday asking for peoples' suggestions for their favorite vegetarian soup and her aunt was like "how about a seafood stew? that's vegetarian right?" and she was dead serious.
